Honestly, the Model 3 and the Taycan will probably be miles apart. Some of my own reasons for wanting to wait for the Porsche instead of getting a Tesla:
Handling: There is no way the Tesla will handle similarly to a Porsche. Steering feel, cornering, road feel. Porsche is the king of handling for a reason, and I'm anxious to see what they can accomplish with the low CG of an electric vehicle.
Consistency: The Porsche can keep doing pulls from 100% down to 10% charge consistently with no performance degradation. This was actually Porsche's main focus, an actual electric track car.
Fit and Finish: Again, anybody who's seen both a Porsche and a Tesla up close will know it's not even a competition.
Charge Time: The Porsche will charge twice as fast as a Tesla, which (assuming you can find a fast enough charger) is pretty cool for quick recharges.
